MANILA, PHILIPPINES — In the Philippines, mobile data has become an integral part of daily life for many individuals. People rely on their mobile data connections for various purposes such as work, education, livelihood, and entertainment. With the prevalence of apps and data-heavy activities, understanding data consumption has become crucial for optimizing usage and savings.
Telco company Globe has shared insights on how users can effectively manage their data consumption to enhance their browsing experience.
Choosing the right data promo
Globe offers a range of data promos catering to different needs and budgets. For budget-conscious users looking to maximize data usage for various activities, options like Go50 with 5GB data for all sites and unlimited all-net texts at PHP 50 for three days are available. Users willing to invest a bit more can opt for Super Xclusive Go+99, which offers up to 10GB for all sites, 8GB for selected apps, and unlimited all-net texts at PHP 99 for up to eight days. Both promos can be accessed through the GlobeOne app.
Monitoring data usage patterns
Data consumption is heavily influenced by usage behavior. Heavy streaming, whether for videos, music, or games, results in higher data consumption compared to casual use. Being mindful of one’s browsing habits is essential for managing data effectively.
Smart video-streaming practices
Watching high-resolution videos on applications often consumes more data. Adjusting video quality settings on platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, Netflix, TikTok, and Zoom can significantly conserve data. Users can also benefit from deals like Go+99 with GoWATCH, offering 8GB for all sites, 8GB for video apps, and unlimited all-net texts for seven days.
Managing app updates
Automatic app updates and other app activities contribute to data consumption. Users can activate Low Data Mode (Android) or Data Saver (iOS) on their phones to prevent automatic app updates and other data-consuming activities.
Understanding data limits
Awareness of data limits is crucial to prevent early data depletion. Users sometimes mistakenly assume their data will last the entire promo period and are surprised when it runs out. Monitoring data usage via the GlobeOne app helps users stay informed.
Seeking assistance
GlobeOne app provides a Help section where users can find solutions to data-related concerns. The app serves as a digital companion for users seeking assistance.
Aileen Burgos, Head of Customer Experience, emphasized the company’s customer-centric approach, acknowledging the significance of every megabyte of data and the value customers attach to their expenditures. This information aims to empower customers to optimize their data usage effectively.
